A heartwarming reunion took place in Brazil after Valdir Zabel, who had been hospitalised with pneumonia, was finally reunited with his beloved dog, Preta.

Valdir spent several weeks in intensive care, and during this time, the separation from Preta took a toll on both of them.

Valdir’s daughter shared that her father constantly spoke about the dog, while Preta became so distressed that she stopped eating.
